  • Notes: 10 rep deadlift sets take a while and take it out of me. Planned on doing uppers as well but conditioning after this was plenty. Pull felt and looked strong. I could feel lots of the strain and strength from my abs instead of my back, which I like. Since improving my hinge deadlifting has become a much different exercise and much more ab intensive.
  • body: traps are sore.

max slight decline DB hex press, 20 kg DBs (17,17,15)

7) "sally up" with shoulder opener (straight arm) - 2.5 kg plates


  • Notes: Lower body external torque, upper body internal. Plyos today as well. Progressed off of last session by adding a burpee into the 5/10/5 drills as well as adding some plyo pushups. Keeping the weight on the cleans rather low and adding stress with reps and plyos. Tried some decline DB bench but shoulder really wasn't happy. I've found the DB hex press is the best and one of the only ways I can work the bench press motion without shoulder and scap issue. Weighted pushup is a much better option for me. Sally up was terrible. 
  • Body: No soreness from our hike yesterday. Feeling good. Lots of sleep and recovery, no stress.
